considering 1Q profit progress in the mobility segment, we think there may be Components

upside. The 2H outlook is uncertain at present, as this depends on offsetting higher AC Akinori Kanemoto

raw material costs and recovering compensation from Japanese automakers for

development plan changes (this compensation might not be reflected on the P&L). akinori.kanemoto@jpmorgan.com

• Earnings summary: Alps Alpine reported 1Q sales of ¥237.9 billion and an Ikki(81-3)Shibata6736 8641

operating loss of ¥920 million, better than our estimate for a loss of ¥3.5 billion ikki.shibata@jpmorgan.com

but missing the Bloomberg consensus estimate for profit of ¥1.4 billion. Initial JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd.

guidance is unchanged. Component segment profit was in line with our

estimate in 1Q, despite actuator sales falling by 30% QoQ on startup delays. In

the mobility segment, the impact of higher memory prices exceeded guidance,

but stronger-than-expected North American sales and a roughly ¥2 billion

development cost shortfall versus initial guidance both contributed. Alps

Alpine did not revise guidance, but we think 1H guidance likely has upside

potential, due mainly to the mobility segment.
